Delta jet skids off runway during snowstorm at NY airport
(Reuters) - A Delta Air Lines Inc jet landing during a snowstorm at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Thursday slid off the runway and struck a fence before coming to
rest on a snow-covered embankment just feet from the frigid waters of Flushing Bay.
None of the 127 passengers and five crew members were seriously injured as Delta flight 1086 from Atlanta skidded on the tarmac at about 11 a.m. EST (1600 GMT).
Images on local media showed the plane's nose had pushed through a chain-link fence and was jutting out over an embankment.
LaGuardia Accident: Delta Jet
Skids Off Runway, Minor
Injuries
LaGuardia, the smallest of the New York area's three major airports, was immediately closed after the mishap. By the time its runways started to reopen at about 2:30
p.m. EST, air traffic was snarled throughout the U.S. East Coast and beyond. Hundreds of flights were canceled at LaGuardia, compounding weather-related travel
disruptions in many parts of the country.
"I think the pilot did everything he could to slow the aircraft down," said Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the airport's
operator. "Obviously, the pilot's and the co-pilot's good efforts were reflected in the fact that there were only minor injuries."
After exit slides failed to deploy properly, passengers were forced to disembark by climbing over a wing with the help of emergency responders, Foye said at a news
conference.
There were only two minor injuries reported, he said, though that number may change.
One of those on board was Larry Donnell, a professional football player with the New York Giants.
"We were all shocked and alarmed when the plane started to skid, but most importantly, as far as I know, all of the passengers and flight crew were able to exit the
plane safely," the tight end said in a statement released by the team.
"GOOD BRAKING ACTION"
Even though the aircraft landed in a driving snowstorm, Foye said two aircraft that touched down minutes before the incident had reported "good braking action."
Officials did not make any statement about a possible cause, and experts from the National Transportation Safety Board were en route to the airport to begin an
investigation. A spokesman for the NTSB declined further comment.
Delta, which operates a hub at LaGuardia, said in a statement that it would work with all authorities to look into what happened. Its shares were down 1.9 percent at
$44.28 in Thursday afternoon trading.
The airline said it had taken delivery of the MD-88 involved in the incident in 1987, and that it last had a major maintenance overhaul in December 2010. The plane had
a routine service check on Tuesday, it said, but declined further comment.
LaGuardia Airport, located in the New York City borough of Queens, has in recent history been the scene of two previous crashes involving wintry weather.
On March 2, 1994, Continental Airlines flight 705 bound for Denver aborted takeoff during a snowstorm and slid off the runway into a ditch, injuring 29 people.
Two years earlier, USAir Flight 405 headed for Cleveland crashed into Flushing Bay during a snowy takeoff at LaGuardia, killing 27 people of the 51 on board. The crash
was later blamed on icing on its wings.

Harrison Ford 'battered, but ok' after small-plane crash, son says
Venice, California (CNN)Actor Harrison Ford was "banged up" and hospitalized Thursday afternoon after a 1940s aircraft he was piloting crashed during a forced landing
on a golf course, his publicist said.
"Harrison was flying a WW2 vintage plane today which had engine trouble upon takeoff," Ina Treciokas said. "He had no other choice but to make an emergency landing,
which he did safely. He was banged up and is in the hospital receiving medical care. The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full
recovery."
His son was with him at the hospital.
"Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man," Ben Ford tweeted.
Los Angeles Fire Department Assistant Chief Patrick Butler, who wouldn't identify Ford as the patient, said the pilot suffered moderate trauma and was "alert and
conscious" when he was taken to the hospital. He said the pilot, the only person on board, was in fair to moderate condition.
The 72-year-old actor was in a two-seat, single-engine 1942 military trainer that went down on Penmar Golf Course near Santa Monica Airport.
Patrick Jones, an investigator with National Transportation Safety Board, told reporters that the plane's engine failed.
Actor Harrison Ford flies a Ryan PT-22 military plane on January 28, 2011, in Santa Monica, California.
A man who lives near where the plane came down told CNN he heard the plane in trouble.
"I heard it having problems and then he turned around," Jens Lucking said. "When he was right by the house, the engine cut out and then he turned around."
The plane clipped a tree top as it glided back toward the airport, officials said. It landed on its belly with the landing gear collapsed underneath and the left wing
touching the ground. There is a mark in the ground behind the plane where the aircraft sliced into the grass.
Ford had just taken off when the plane experienced some kind of problem. He was trying to return to the airport, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor
said.
Tom Haines with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association said he had flown with Ford in the past.
"He's a very skilled pilot. He's very safety-conscious and goes to training routinely for all of his aircraft," Haines said.
Santa Monica Airport is a small facility with one runway, originally built in 1919. But now it is basically in the back yard of a very dense beach community. There have
been many complaints about the air traffic and golfers and neighbors say aircraft fly too close to homes.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA said the plane was a Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR. According to FAA registry, the plane is owned by MG Aviation Inc.
The plane was not equipped with a flight data recorder, Jones of the NTSB said.
It is not the first aviation-related incident for the star of the "Star Wars" and the Indiana Jones film franchises.
In 1999, Ford had to make an hard emergency landing in a California riverbed while flying in a helicopter with a flight instructor. MG Aviation also was the owner of that
aircraft, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
He missed time during the filming of "Star Wars: Episode VII" last year in Buckinghamshire, England, when he broke one of his legs on the set.

Safety is our top priority, Cape Air says
THE recent spate of flight cancellations is due mainly to a technical issue with the Cape Air aircraft and the airline wants to ensure safety.
Cape Air & Nantucket Airlines vice president for marketing and PR Trish Lorino told Variety, "Regretfully, we have had to cancel flights in the region to address a
technical issue with the ATR. Our local team, as well as reps from ATR have been working diligently to return the aircraft to service. Because safety is our top priority,
that will only happen when there is complete confidence in performance."
Lorino acknowledged their partner United Express' support.
She said United Express has also worked diligently "providing aircraft to recover operations in the region. While their efforts have helped mitigate customer
inconvenience, we apologize for the continued travel disruptions experienced by our passengers."
She assured the traveling public that there is "a very concentrated effort to return the aircraft to service in the region as soon as possible."
Flights scheduled for March 5 and March 6 have been cancelled.
According to the Cape Air/United Express PR Office, "Cape Air / United Express flights between Guam and Saipan on Mar. 5 and 6, 2015 operating an ATR42 aircraft
have been cancelled following the technical issue that is currently being addressed by teams from Cape Air and ATR. United has provided extra flights by using a Boeing
737-800 aircraft to accommodate the affected passengers on both days."
Variety was told that Flight UA2110 is scheduled to depart Guam on Mar. 5 at 11 p.m. and is expected to arrive on Saipan at 11:36 p.m.
This flight will depart Saipan on March 6 at 12:20 a.m. and arrive on Rota at 12:54 a.m.
"This flight is scheduled to depart Rota at 1:40 a.m. and arrive on Guam at 2:11 a.m. on Mar. 6," Cape Air/United Express statement read.
Moreover, Flight UA2116 is scheduled to depart Guam on Mar. 6 at 11 p.m. and is expected to arrive on Saipan at 11:40 p.m.
This flight then departs Saipan at 12:25 a.m. on Mar. 7 and arrive on Guam at 1:05 am.
"Our support teams in Guam, Saipan and Rota are providing assistance to passengers to make the necessary arrangements for them to complete their travel. We realize
this is an inconvenience to our customers and we apologize for the disruption," the statement said.
Cape Air has been operating in the region since 2004.
Its partnership with then Continental Connection began on July 1, 2004 to provide between the islands of Guam, Saipan and Rota.
Cape Air has been using its ATR aircraft with 46 economy class seats.
Before it became part of United Airlines, Continental Micronesia had been operating in the region since 1968.
Meanwhile, Lorino reiterates that they are working on getting the aircraft back into service as soon as possible "coordinating with UA on recovery service and mitigating
inconvenience to our customers. We have teams locally, as well as at our corporate headquarters focused on getting the aircraft back into service."

Make Flying Safe, Raise Air Safety Standards (India)
The International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) decision to conduct another audit of India's aviation safety this year is unlikely to please various Indian airlines.
This is because the audit is likely to affect their expansion plans. After an audit in 2012, ICAO had placed India among the 13 worst-performing nations. Indications are
that the audit would be more elaborate this time. Ideally, India shouldn't have faced any difficulty in improving the infrastructure and manpower requirements to meet
the international standards during the last three years. Unfortunately, the government did not seem to take the ICAO audit seriously for reasons which remain
unexplained.
Last time, the government tried to downplay the significance of the audit arguing the negative report was due to some procedural lapses and it was not a comment on
India's air safety. Instead of adopting an ostrich-like policy, the government should have done everything possible to improve the situation. In a related move, the US
Federal Aviation Authority has delayed reviewing India's air safety. There is every evidence to suggest that India's air safety problems are more fundamental than
procedural and unless remedial action is taken few will feel safe to travel by air in India. The country, which claims to be a technological giant and has the fastest-
growing economy, cannot afford substandard facilities at airports.
According to a report, the Director-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has been able to appoint only 45 flight operations inspectors, despite the approval for 75. It is a sad
commentary on the state of affairs that India, which has the world's largest pool of technically qualified personnel, cannot appoint such staff. This itself will go against
India when ICAO inspectors come calling. Those who are familiar with flying know only too well that there is an acute shortage of air traffic controllers and engineering
inspectors. Even routine regulatory oversight at the airport is largely missing or has been delegated to the airlines. Airline crew often complain about fatigue. Alas, the
DGCA seems to be not at all worried.

MH 370: Malaysia Airlines Struggles to Salvage Its Image One Year On
Airport groundstaff walk past Malaysia Airlines planes parked on the tarmac at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang on June 17, 2014.
With a new CEO and an evolving marketing strategy, the beleaguered airline is trying to rebrand and reinvent
The past year has been a terrible one for Malaysia Airlines. On March 8, 2014, Flight 370 from Kuala Lumpur bound for the Chinese capital, Beijing, lost contact with air-
traffic controllers less than an hour after takeoff, and vanished from radar screens shortly thereafter.
What followed was an unprecedented multinational search across over a million square miles that cost tens of millions of dollars in what has turned out to be one of the
biggest aviation mysteries of all time.
Then in mid-July, disaster hit Malaysia Airlines again when MH 17 went down over Ukraine. This time, the cause of the aircraft's disappearance from the sky seemed
clearer - a surface-to-air missile allegedly fired by pro-Russian rebels engaged in a battle with Ukrainian forces.
Many would argue that the Malaysian carrier was simply unfortunate to have lost a second plane in just over four months, especially since more than 30 other airlines
had continued to fly over eastern Ukraine despite the violent conflict raging there (and a warning from the International Civil Aviation Organization). However, the
disaster only exacerbated the loss of goodwill that Malaysia Airlines was already facing, especially given the lack of evidence on the whereabouts of MH 370.
One year later, those whereabouts are still just as shrouded in mystery. The embattled airline is doing everything it can - including a $1.7 billion overhaul that involves
laying off 30% of its staff - to salvage revenues as well as reputation. The Malaysian government assumed total ownership last year and aims to make the firm profitable
by 2017.
"Before some of these accidents, airline safety was not top of the minds of most passengers, because it's taken for granted," Bennett Yim Chi-kin, a marketing professor
at the University of Hong Kong, tells TIME, adding that disasters like these tend to impact the entire industry. "The factor of safety is now back to being a high criterion
when selecting an airline."
Yim says salvaging Malaysia Airlines' brand equity will take some time. Losses of $368 million in the first three quarters of last year, as well as marketing slipups like a
marketing tweet asking "Want to go somewhere but don't know where?" and a promotion quizzing travelers about their "bucket lists" have already made the turnaround
an uphill battle.
Enter Christoph Mueller, a man described by industry experts as a "battle-hardened veteran." Mueller assumed his position as CEO of Malaysia Airlines last Sunday, one
week before the anniversary of the MH 370 disappearance and one day before the airline's owners - state-owned investment fund Khazanah Nasional - announced a plan
to ax 6,000 of its 20,000 employees. Mueller is an old hand in the airline industry fresh off a successful restructuring of Ireland's struggling national carrier Aer Lingus.
But reviving Malaysia Airlines will be a far bigger challenge, and the 52-year-old's new job is one that few people in the industry would relish.
"I would say it probably is among the toughest," John Strickland of JLS Consulting told AP, but added that Mueller's position as an outsider - the first foreigner at the
airline's helm - could prove advantageous.
Malaysia's tourism numbers have gone up in spite of (and some even argue owing to the raised national profile generated by) the two disasters, with a 10% bump
resulting in some 22.9 million foreign arrivals until October last year. However, the airline also faces increasing competition from several low-cost airlines, including
Malaysian private carrier AirAsia.
AirAsia experienced its own disaster on Dec. 28, when Flight QZ 8501, run by its Indonesian affiliate, crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 162 people on board. The
aircraft, traveling from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore, was retrieved from the water piece by piece over the next two months. The final remnant of
fuselage was recovered last Saturday, Agence France-Presse reported, and 103 bodies have been salvaged so far. F.H. Bambang Soelistyo, the leader of the Indonesian
search effort, said in a press conference that family members of the victims would be consulted before setting a final date for the search effort.
AirAsia's reputation has not taken as much of a hit as that of Malaysia Airlines, largely because of the efforts of its dynamic and savvy CEO Tony Fernandes. Fernandes
rushed to the front lines of the disaster almost immediately, and continued providing updates and messages of sympathy to his sizeable social-media following, in what
many say has set the benchmark for how industry leaders should respond to a crisis.

Part of Einstein's general theory of relativity has finally been proved - by accident
Astronomers have proved an effect predicted by Albert Einstein's general relativity theory 100 years ago - completely by accident.
They captured the moment a far off star exploded, not once but four times.
The exploding star, or supernova, was directly behind a cluster of huge galaxies whose enormous mass warped space-time, creating a cosmic magnifying glass.
Light passing through the distorted region from the supernova produced multiple images.
Einstein's theory explains how massive objects bend space-time to create what we feel as the force of gravity.
Dr Brad Tucker, from The Australian National University, said: "It's perfectly set up, you couldn't have designed a better experiment. You can test some of the biggest
questions about Einstein's theory of relativity all at once."
It can be envisaged by imagining a football pressing down the centre of a rubber sheet. A pea rolled into the depression would spiral inwards towards the ball.
A large cluster galaxy (centre of the box) has split light from an exploding supernova in a magnified background galaxy into four yellow images (arrows) (Z. Levay at
NASA's Space Telescope Science Institute/ESA)
Astronomers have looked for the kind of "gravitational lensing" event described in Science for the past 20 years.
Dr Patrick Kelly, from the University of California at Berkeley, US, made the discovery while searching for distant galaxies.
"It really threw me for a loop when I spotted the four images surrounding the galaxy - it was a complete surprise," he said.
The find not only acts as a test of general relativity, but also provides information about the strength of gravity and the amount of dark matter and dark energy in the
universe.
Light from a supernova is deflected by the gravity of a large collection of galaxies and an elliptical galaxy, which act like a "cosmic magnifying glass" producing four
magnified images (FrontierSN team/ESA/GLASS/Nasa)
Dark matter is an invisible substance that cannot be seen but binds galaxies together. It makes up most of the matter in the universe but its nature is unknown.
Even more mysterious, dark energy produces an "anti-gravity" force that is causing galaxies to fly apart at an accelerating rate.
Because the lensing effect also magnifies the supernova, it offers scientists a window into the distant past by uncovering light that has spent billions of years crossing
the universe.
"It's a relic of a simpler time, when the universe was still slowing down and dark energy was not doing crazy stuff," said Dr Tucker.
The observation forms part of a special report on general relativity in the journal Science marking the centenary of the theory published in December 1915.

Graduate Research Survey
The survey is being conducted as part of a Master's thesis in Human Factors Engineering at Tufts University. It explores differences in opinions and perceived use of
voluntary reporting practices at several major airlines that utilize a similar system. The end goal is to recommend best practices for the successful implementation and
continued use of such systems to maximize the benefit to an organization and its employees.
This survey is voluntary and can be stopped at any time without consequence. Participants only need to answer questions that they feel comfortable answering and
Katherine (the creator of the survey), GE Aviation, and Tufts University will have no knowledge of the name or identity of any person who submits a response to this
survey. It is completely anonymous. Additionally, airline names will never be disclosed. The survey should take less than 5 minutes.
